Church weekend, February 2018

The theme for the weekend

Many of us gathered in February 2018 for our church weekend, ‘Longing for Light’. We chose this theme after we’d just sung the song ‘Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your own, your holy people, light for the world to see.’ It seemed like a good goal for us to set as we look forward into the coming year.

To help make the most of the weekend we’ve provided some ideas for preparation for discussions . As the books of Luke and Acts go together and tell of the appearance of the Light, it’s impact on the Jews, and the emergence of the Church, we are using these as background. Of course we’re not suggesting you settle down and read the whole of them! (unless you’ve got a lot of time on your hands) but we’ve provided some resources and ideas for you to explore particular parts of the story.
